We are still waiting on the USCIS approval to arrive in the mail. However, our adoption agency let us mail our dossier without it since everything else has an apostille. So off the dossier goes. Overnighted to our adoption agency.
We read that the SDA is a mess right now. Things are very slow. And to add insult to injury, passports are not being printed. There are many families actually stuck in Ukraine because they cannot get a passport printed for their new child.
In other news, I had a very fruitful conversation with another mother who adopted from Ukraine. Her advice was to be in prayer. To prayer also for my marriage because the devil will try to attack from every angle, including destroying your marriage. Can I just saw WOW! J and I had an argument last night, which really is not normal for us. Yep, devil is attacking there too!!
She also shared that if you go into your adoption in Ukraine with a Go with the Flow attitude, it will help. "There will be set backs, people will go on vacation at the wrong time, people will get sick at the wrong time, things will not get done on your time schedule. Just go with the flow." I truly appreciated this advice, as well as her affirmation that she loves Ukraine and its people.
There is hope that I won't be wrongfully arrested and jailed after all (another one of the devil's psychotic paranoia in my head).
